'Sheila Bird recounts the history of sea rescue in Cornwall from the earliest days. She records, too, the evolution of life-saving equipment and techniques and describes the eventual establishment of lifeboat stations throughout the county and on the Isles of Scilly. The story that evolves is firmly rooted among ordinary members of a host of seafaring communities around the Cornish coast, of young men who dedicate themselves to a life of service, and to the most extraordinary acts of human courage.
